The West Indies qualified automatically on the basis of their top-five finish at the previous edition in 2024. Meanwhile, Ireland made it from the Global Qualifier earlier this year in Nepal. They won five matches and lost just two in the campaign. The West Indies, on the other hand, are coming into this series after being whitewashed in the ODI and T20I series against Australia in March-April.

Castle Avenue, Dublin: Pitch Report
